Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 47
एतस्मिन्नंतरे दैत्या निर्जिताः सुरसत्तमैः । दिशो जग्मुः परित्रस्ताः केचिन्मृत्युमुपागताः
etasminnaṃtare daityā nirjitāḥ surasattamaiḥ | diśo jagmuḥ paritrastāḥ kecinmṛtyumupāgatāḥ
এই সময় দেবশ্রেষ্ঠদের দ্বারা পরাজিত দৈত্যেরা ভয়ে দিশেদিশে পালিয়ে গেল; আর তাদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ মৃত্যুকে বরণ করল।
Narrator (purāṇic ākhyāna voice)
Scene: A battlefield-like celestial vista: devas radiant and composed; daityas scattered, fleeing to the horizons; some fallen, emphasizing the turning of fate.
